It was great fun to do – there is nothing I love more than bringing old ( and fictional) worlds to life.

i often feel that your blog is a dickens revival; it usually represents the start of most of my mornings

every time i see or hear the phrase the george and vulture (“Christmas Eve at the George and Vulture!/That’s where it all began, Sam”) i begin to sing the whole thing through again — after almost 50 years!
